In a professional environment, we’re often faced with the need to respond appropriately according to what the situation calls for, whether it be related to situations in daily life or the workplace. This course was designed to provide the worker with linguistic tools which will enable greater ease in basic communications in the workplace. This way, the student will be able to broaden their lexical and grammatical repertoire in English, thus increasing their professional value and skill, and contributing to not only professional but also social mobility. The methodology of self-guided instruction will allow the student to manage their own study time, so that they can integrate coursework with the daily demands of their professional life at a rhythm adequate for their own learning process. More importantly, the course is held online, distributed massively, and accessible anywhere in the world through Coursera.

Ofrece buen contenido para practicar y aprender inglés, además hay buenas explicaciones sobre los temas que se van presentando. Sin embargo cuando se evalúa la mayoría de cuestionarios tienen respuestas con errores en la gramática y estructura de las oraciones y no presentan una coherencia

El cuestionario está en español y tienes que adivinar cual es la respuesta correcta e incluso las respuestas que marcan como correctas en español no son correctas esta todo mal.

I just developed a new love for English because of this course! After learning it, I even managed to teach what I learned from it to my 6-year-old kid and his understanding is brilliant! It a skill I will pass on to my next generation! Thanks Coursera!

Muy bueno para aprender conceptos básicos y tener una base inicial en este importante idioma, mas que un idioma es una herramienta de trabajo que debamos tratar de reforzar y manejar lo mas posible, a día de hoy agradezco a ver visto este curso Básico.

Para terminar el curso debo pagar y pierde un poco el sentido de establecer tiempos para completar el curso. Considero que está bien que el certificado tenga un costo, quizás debieron poner esa opción al momento de realizar examen final, pero no los test intermedios.

LAS ACTIVIDADES NO FUNCIONAN, HAY AUDIOS QUE SE ESCUCHAN MAL, LOS TESTS ESTAN EN ESPAÑOL Y AUNQUE PONGAS LA RESPESTA QUE INDICA CORRECTA ESTÁ MALO IGUAL.
